Second Win for $1Million Zoustar Filly

Tara Madgwick - Monday Jun 24

Blue hen Listen Here was sold for a whopping $3,4million at the 2016 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale and has the perfect record of four winners from four foals to race with $1million Inglis Easter Zoustar filly Zaniah winning her second race at Scone on Monday.

Trained by Kris Lees for Kiwi owner breeder Lib Petagna, Zaniah was having her second start in Australia and second win following three unsuccessful attempts in New Zealand.

She made it look all too easy as she coasted clear to win the Class 1 handicap over 900 metres as a short pieced favourite by three lengths and while she may not have the stakes ability of her glamour siblings Shooting to Win and Deep Field, she will now go to stud a winner.

Listen Here has a yearling colt by Snitzel, no weanling and is now in foal to I Am Invincible.
